Middleweight slugger Scott Smith (16-6) has signed a new six-fight deal with Strikeforce, and he could see action as soon as December.

News of the new deal was first reported by AOL FanHouse, who learned of the re-signing from Smith's agent, Mike Roberts.

Roberts also shared that his client, while uncertain of his next opponent, was interested in a potential rematch with Benji Radach (19-5) or a bout with MMA legend Frank Shamrock (23-10-2).

Smith is 2-1 under the Strikeforce banner since debuting for the organization in November 2008. After stunning Terry Martin in just 24 seconds, Smith has had back-to-back brawls with Benji Radach and Nick Diaz.

"Hands of Steel" earned a knockout win over Radach in their April contest on the main card of "Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz," but "Razor" has contested since the bout that the stoppage was early. Smtih is apparently willing to revisit the back-and-forth contest in an effort to prove the first result was no fluke.

Smith has also expressed interest in facing Shamrock since the former champion issued some disparaging remarks on "Hands of Steel's" physical appearance during an EliteXC broadcast.

While Roberts said December was a likely return date for Smith, Strikeforce has yet to offer any official plans for a show in that month.
